There are now close to 10 iOS / Android apps in development for kbin & lemmy!

The amount of apps being developed for iOS / Android is getting really crazy now and new apps keep popping up every day. Updated list below:

Most apps on the list are lemmy apps, meaning they don’t work with kbin. Artemis is specifically designed to work with kbin, not sure if or when any of the other ones will go in that direction or become interoperable as there are some challenges with the kbin API at the moment. Having said that, a new API is in the works so things should get better with time.

I made a neat table, here u go:

But a bunch of low karma accounts on Reddit told me Lemmy would never take off!

x4740N,

Yeah seems pretty sus

god,
@god@sh.itjust.works avatar

it never will!!!!!! these 350k users on the lemmyverse are all bots and trolls!!! i bet both my legs that lemmy doesn't even exist

ThatGeekyDad,

Lieutenant Dan, is that you?!

god,
@god@sh.itjust.works avatar

idk who that is

thesanewriter,

Lemmy. Who uses that platform? Nobody, that's who.

dsdsds13,

It feels like Memmy is getting updates every single day which is nice, Mlem is quite slow to update

gkd,
@gkd@lemmy.ml avatar

Just trying to do my part for you guys :)

gornar,
@gornar@lemmy.world avatar

Memmy is my go-to app! Yer doing great work, thank you!

Ado,

I was just looking for the Memmy community to come say thank you. The app is great, especially with the latest UI update. Appreciate your work to push this project forward (:

Juviz,

How do you manage all the updates? Is this your full time job? 😂

knova,

For the record I love love love what you are doing with Memmy. I used to bounce between mlem and the web interface but after the last 2 days I think Memmy is in a good spot where I can use it full time. Just need notifications and I’m set

gkd,
@gkd@lemmy.ml avatar

I'm working on a notifications screen tonight. Shouldn't be too long before I push an update with those.

And along with that I've opened up another project for push notifications. I hope to have that off the ground and working within the next week.

Sinnz,

A swipe gesture to open the subscribed communities tab would be awesome.

RemorniaLivingBlade,

And I’d love to be able to right swipe to get to the post(s) I visited before (Apollo has it for example). Just a suggestion OFC. All in all I’m really enjoying the app and I’m looking forward to seeing how it will progress 👌🏼.

god,
@god@sh.itjust.works avatar

^ for anyone curious, gkd is memmy dev

thank you gkd for making memmy

@gkd@lemmy.ml avatar

🤘

Juviz,

Awesome Bro

god,
@god@sh.itjust.works avatar

and so, let the hunger games begin

GizmoLion,

Except everybody wins. Best kind of problem haha.

kill,

@GizmoLion well some app devs are gonna get bored for sure so we'll see which ones grab a decent userbase and which ones disrupt the dev's life so much that after all that time spent they quit being devs and join a lumberjack's guild nearby to dedicate their lives to deforestation

GizmoLion,
GizmoLion avatar

Weird take but ok.

kill,

@GizmoLion lol, just a perspective from a dev who has loved a few projects for years, and abandoned a few others because holy shit they're just not worth my time

i can see this happening in kbin & lemmy app-world where everyone picks "Ammenides for the Kbemmyverse" and the guy who puts 14 hours a day obsessively into "Omonaia for Cute Kbin" sees just like 3 users who decide to demand loli features and you don't like lolis but you entertain them bc they're your only users but after months of being annoyed by these fuckers you just press alt f4 one day and realize you're being unhappy for a community that's as alien to you as a "caress homeless people when you pass by" hobby club, and decide that enough is enough, and go raise tortoises in a Caribbean island cuz that's all you've always wanted to do but couldn't because you were making loli stickers for a bunch o lolicons cuz you wanted just a tiny bit more attention that you couldn't get in real life due to being isolated in your room 24/7, therefore becoming hostage to your own seclusion-caused feedback loop of depression, loneliness and low self-esteem.

yes, i find suspiciously-specific incoherence funny

wasabi,

Jerboa does not like this table

cryomancer20x6,

Yeah, it is pretty bad.

https://lemmy.sdf.org/pictrs/image/33f37d6c-8ed1-4a6d-9113-9003cb218f94.png

maiskanzler,

Someone above said it'll be in the next release. So it might just be days away.

rbits,

Or maybe even now

wasabi,

That someone above is the jerboa (and lemmy) maintainer

god,
@god@sh.itjust.works avatar

ah lol, doesn't have a markdown table parser

zach,

Thanks for putting this together!

I'm the dev that is working on Lemmynade (resurrected from lemmur)

Things are getting pretty solid. I'm using it as my main without issues right now. Even on v0.18.x instances.

Try out the latest release here:

https://github.com/zachatrocity/lemmynade/releases/tag/v0.9.6

F-Droid, Play store, and iOS should be here next week!

Barbarian,
@Barbarian@sh.itjust.works avatar

Installed and used it for like an hour now, I really like it! A lot smoother than Jerboa, and the UI in dark mode is really nice.

Thank you!

god,
@god@sh.itjust.works avatar

didn't know it was FOSS, added the clarification, im tagging the FOSS ones lol, thx, will test, will also try and get it on join-lemmy

zach,

Much appreciated. There a couple bugs left that have been reported but should have those sorted this week. it's working pretty well!

god,
@god@sh.itjust.works avatar

testing it for 5 minutes, so far i like it more than jerboa, looking awesome

TooL,

Hmm… Tried it out and it had the same problem as I had with jerboa. Can’t seem to login with my Lemmy.ca account.

glibg10b,

The table ironically doesn't render on Jerboa

god,
@god@sh.itjust.works avatar

yeah jerboa's markdown parser seems to just not have tables included

dessalines,

That’s in the next release.

hardypart,

This speaks volumes about the popularity of Lemmy. I think this might actually keep taking off!

god,
@god@sh.itjust.works avatar

for a lil while at least, june 30 will probably bring another mass exodus, including sync users, let's see how it goes, afterwards i imagine that there'll be a small push and then things will calm down a bit cuz rn it's exploding due to a mass publicity campaign that won't be there when reddit's already committed app-genocide

NSA_Server_04,

Lol and I just need one to release and work! Only thing stopping me from enjoying it to its fullest.

god, (edited )
@god@sh.itjust.works avatar

I think like 7 out of 10 are for iOS too.

edit: i was not completely wrong, but 5 out of 7 iOS apps are also releasing on android in theory, some already have

liara,

That's fine. Sync is all Android really needs anyway ;)

cryomancer20x6,

I really love Sync a lot. I do, however, have high hopes for Jerboa. This is the first time I have ever been an early adopter of software and ok with the product.

Rolldach,

I am using the Memmy app: https://github.com/gkasdorf/memmy you’ll need TestFlight but it works really well

AwkwardPenguin,

And daily updates!!! The dev is very nice and fast.

CarbonIceDragon,
@CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social avatar

wait, slide? as in reddit slide? that was the app I used for reddit, but didnt figure something like that would get made here due to that being one of the less popular third party apps compared to things like RIF and Apollo. Thats cool to see

god,
@god@sh.itjust.works avatar

ye but im not sure if it's the same dev, u can check out the link & you'll see there's something going on

theory,
@theory@feddit.uk avatar

Its not

god,
@god@sh.itjust.works avatar

^ for anyone curious this is the dev making slide for lemmy

thanks @theory 🥰

InEnduringGrowStrong,
@InEnduringGrowStrong@sh.itjust.works avatar

Relay for Lemmy would be so nice

god,
@god@sh.itjust.works avatar

make it happen

gkd,
@gkd@lemmy.ml avatar

Memmy checking in. For the record, I have an Android build awaiting Google approval. Hopefully that will happen soon.

I am aiming to have a stable release available by the 27th that I can submit to Apple for release on the store. Right now, I think I can still hit that mark. We will see how it goes.

rbits,

Could you publish that build on github? I would love to try it out.

confetti_8tVST5, (edited )

God Lemmynade is a damn good name

Edit: Just tried it and gotta say its pretty great. Kinda reminds me of infinity for some reason not sure why. Think I'll be using this for a bit to really try it out also its called liftoff now

DustyNipples,

It's a really good app visually too, just trying it out. smooth animations if you like that sort of thing.

SecretPotatoChip,

Boost for lemmy would be awesome.

god,
@god@sh.itjust.works avatar

It absolutely would. Do check if the dev has considered it.

dessalines,

Boost is (should say was) my favorite reddit app, so I designed jerboa based off its UI. I’d definitely appreciate more apps, but boost was always closed source, so it makes sense to contribute to jerboa.

git,

Boost was my app of choice too and been loving Jerboa. Thank you for all your hard work

MentalEdge,
@MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz avatar

I really really really want to see Relay for Lemmy on that list.

god,
@god@sh.itjust.works avatar

go harass the dev

MentalEdge,
@MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz avatar

I have, a little...

felsklette,

Boost for Reddit could become Boost for Lemmy https://lemmy.world/c/boostforlemmy It's the same dev atleast https://old.reddit.com/r/BoostForReddit/comments/14ehiqs/_/jouvuok/

god,
@god@sh.itjust.works avatar

hmm, says it's to avoid impersonation, maybe he just doens't want anyone snatching the name and wants to leave it as an option, or he's just parking the name lol idk

kaestov,

That would be perfect, I am going to miss Boost.

dessalines, (edited )

This is really exciting. Could you make an issue to add these to github.com/LemmyNet/joinlemmy-site ? Thanks.

god,
@god@sh.itjust.works avatar

Currently busy a work. Will leave this message unread for when I have time. If someone else does it faster I wouldn't mind.

god,
@god@sh.itjust.works avatar

done, lmk if u want more deets
